The group debuted nine days later with their single album Warrior.[10] In November 2014, B.A.P filed a lawsuit against its agency. The members sought to nullify its contract with the company citing "unfair conditions and profit distribution".[11]

In August of the following year, the two parties ultimately settled and B.A.P resumed its activities under TS Entertainment.[12]

Moon performed his first solo song entitled "Try My Luck" during B.A.P's 2017 World Tour 'Party Baby!' in March.[13] A PBR&B track, it was released as part of a project album with fellow member Daehyun on June 8.[14]

In August and December 2018, Yongguk and Zelo left the group and record label following the expiration of their contracts, respectively.[15][16]
